Re: follow up on temp directories and auto saving

[Mike H. <mh...@al...>]

Don't count on it if the remote files are compressed.  I've had that
trouble for a few revs.  It will write to a (for lack of a better word)
catalog file in local:/tmp but when you look at the contents it will
claim to be putting the tmp files into that var's setting.  Problem is
that doesn't happen for compressed files (I think uncompressed works
OK).  If I had the time to read the bug submission outline so I could
supply all the req'd data and follow up I'd file it.  When we get our
chip into tape-out I'll have time to get involved...
